New Receding Gums Treatment Shown In Los Angeles TV News Story

Quick Summary

RejuvaGum Lift™ is a treatment for receding gums that uses your own blood concentrate, called platelet rich fibrin (PRF), to support tissue regeneration and root coverage. Instead of taking donor tissue for a traditional gum graft, the provider draws a small vial of blood, processes it to concentrate healing factors, then places PRF membranes at the recession site after gently repositioning the gums. The goal is to correct recession with a less invasive approach that may involve less discomfort and minimal downtime for many patients.

Key Takeaways

• RejuvaGum Lift™ uses PRF made from your own blood, so it can be an option if you want to avoid or delay traditional grafting that requires donor tissue.

• The appointment includes a small blood draw, processing the blood to create PRF membranes, then placing those membranes in the recession area and securing them with sutures.

• The intended benefits are tissue regeneration and root coverage, with an emphasis on faster healing, less pain, and lower infection risk compared with more invasive approaches.

• A periodontal evaluation still matters, since not every recession pattern is a fit for this technique and your provider needs to confirm what is driving the recession

Receding gums can now be corrected with the RejuvaGum Lift™, a new procedure that eliminates the need to graft tissue from the roof of the mouth to cover gum recession. Periodontists Dr. Alexandre Aalam and Dr. Alina Krivitsky show how the RejuvaGum Lift™ is done in this ABC 7 news story. Dr. Aalam and Dr. Krivitsky are offering the minimally invasive treatment at the CENTER for Advanced Periodontal & Implant Therapy in Los Angeles.

The procedure is done by drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood and processing it through a centrifuge to obtain platelet rich fibrin, which forms into a clot-like substance. The PRF is then prepared and placed into the gums through small incisions at the areas with recession which spurs regeneration of gum tissue and promotes root coverage.

With the RejuvaGum Lift™ there is no need to remove a section of tissue from the roof of the mouth, which is often a painful part of traditional gum grafting. The technique was first developed in France. For information visit Center for Advanced Periodontal and Implant Therapy and call (310) 826-8242.
